Woody Grill - Harrow Wealdstone — Restaurant in London

Before I start I appreciate that everyone's taste is subjective however I write this review with what Google informs me as being one of the top 10 percent read reviewers and read views on the platform. So my opinion of course matters to me but probably to many others that value my opinion on turkish restaurants (being a Turk also)

Really disappointing restaurant as a summary.

Where do i start.

The meat in the Lamb beyti (kofte) or any lamb shish (in the mixed grill) has a very strong odour and aftertaste.

The tomato based sauce in the lamb beyti tasted simply like a tomato pasta sauce and definitely not how it's tastes in the 1001 turkish food eateries that I've eaten in London and across the world.

The meat from the mixed grill beyond the awful lamb shish, was as follows;

Chicken shish - well cooked but bland Chicken doner - again bland Lamb doner - probably only semi above average thing on the menu. Lamb kofte - as explained was awful with a smell and aftertaste. Chicken kofte- like the previous chicken dishes tastes of pretty much nothing.

The service from the staff was good but getting their attention for anything took 5 mins at a time when the restaurant was 2/3 empty.

Finally I'm afraid to say within a few mins of leaving the restaurant I had to rush home to the lavatory where i write this, one of my worst reviews from a restaurant.

Was expecting to find a gem in Harrow but unfortunately you wouldn't find me eating...

I'm no fan of junk food, but it seems Harrow Council will only license greasy kebab shops or oily chicken shacks to open after midnight, to service those of us with rumbling tummies, after spending hours on a night bus...

I've tried Woody's chips next door before, and they seemed like a fairly average chip shop chip, so I assumed I'd get the same or similar from Woody's grill next door, but how wrong could I be?

I ordered the chicken and chips, thinking I'd get a portion of chips similar to that which I'd had in the past from the neighbouring chip shop, with a few chicken wings or thighs added into the mix.

What I ended up with was a tiny portion of skinny McDonald's style chips and four pieces of reconstituted chicken, each about the size of a pound coin.

So, I'll be taking my business back to Zara down the road, who've always sold me a decent sized portion of chips in the past, even if they don't seem to sell bits of chicken to add to it, in order to help sate the appetites of those of us who weren't fortunate enough to catch the last train back to the area.

What's worse is that I didn't even get offered a chip fork, salt, or vinegar on the food, nor any...
